About this map

W Fork Wolf Cr and E Fork Wolf Cr carve a complex drainage system through this corner of Powder River County, where the high plains meet dissected breaks. The landscape is defined by its seasonal hydrology, with Rough Cr and Wrangler Cr feeding into larger systems that historically supported the region's ranching operations. The presence of Sand Creek Hill in the northeast serves as a prominent navigational marker in an area where early transportation followed the natural contours of the land. Modern infrastructure is represented by the alignment of Highway 212 and Moorehead Rd, which cut across the Public Land Survey System grids of T4S and T5S. For those studying the geography of Montana’s southeastern borderlands, this map details the specific water sources like Dripping Spring Cr and Post Cr that have dictated land use and settlement patterns for generations.
